Super Hero Movie Fatigue is a Myth When 5 of the Top 10 Movies Worldwide in 2016 Feature Super Heroes

All bias aside — because we are called DailySuperHero.com — there is a group of people (most likely haters) online who seem to think there is such a thing as super hero fatigue in Hollywood right now. This is based on zero logic when you have statistical results proving the claim to be wrong. Especially when you look at movie performances through 2016 at the worldwide box office numbers.

Sure, sometimes there will be a super hero movie flop, like last summer's FANTASTIC FOUR reboot, and critical panning of movies, but the numbers do not lie. In fact, the numbers show is that there is no slowing down when it comes to super hero movies. So any excuse of saying there is super hero fatigue is just bad logic because numbers are proving those people wrong.

Box office numbers are more telling than critic reviews as Warner Bros. has now shown after the release of both BATMAN V. SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE and SUICDE SQUAD this year. Each movie has a mid-20s-percent score on RottenTomatoes while both still opened big and strong. Despite their respective drop-offs, both DC movies managed to maintain weekend box office dominance to make lots of cash. Profits may be slimmer for these two Warner Bros. movies compared to their rival Marvel Studios, but their respective numbers do not lie when it comes to the myth that is super hero fatigue.

Perhaps super hero fatigue could set in eventually, but right now five of the Top 10 movies worldwide in 2016 are super hero movies meaning those days are still far, far away.

Take a look at 2016's Top 10 worldwide movies, via BoxOfficeMojo, at the time this post was published:

This chart makes the claim there's super hero fatigue more myth than ever before since CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR, BATMAN V. SUPERMAN, DEADPOOL, SUICIDE SQUAD and X-MEN: APOCALYPSE are all showing the genre is stronger than ever. And don't forget Marvel's DOCTOR STRANGE is yet to release on November 4, too.

Just stop with this fatigue talk because, statistically speaking, it's debunked when it comes to super hero movie performances (so far) in 2016. Your claim is illogical and outright stupid right now.
